In our traditional concept of health, it is generally believed that as long as there is no major physical illness, it is healthy. Chongqing Cuncaoxin psychological counselor suggested that with the change of people's concept, people's health concept began to change greatly. In addition to paying attention to physical health, they also began to pay attention to mental health, which means expanding the extension of health on the original basis. Scientific health is the perfect combination of physical health and mental health, so it is necessary for us to make a more accurate interpretation of the health problems of the elderly.

In fact, as early as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, some speakers who advocated "seclusion" life, such as Ji Kang, began to explore the way of keeping in good health, the core of which is actually what we call spiritual health. But only in recent years has it become a well-known health awareness. It can be seen that the emergence, occurrence and popularization of mental health care have also experienced a long period of development, especially for the elderly.

With the improvement of living standards, the physical health problems of the elderly are no longer insurmountable, and more health problems are manifested in the psychological level. The most common problem is the emotional problems of the elderly. These common emotions include anxiety, depression and fear. And a series of more serious problems caused by these emotional problems, such as insomnia and dreaminess, anxiety and forgetfulness of the elderly, Alzheimer's disease and other health problems of the elderly, not only bring more pain to the elderly themselves, but also bring care to their families. If this phenomenon is allowed to develop freely, with the explosive growth of the elderly population, it may also cause many social problems. Therefore, Chongqing Cuncaoxin psychological counselor believes that the mental health problem of the elderly is not only a problem of the elderly group, but also a very important social problem, which must be paid attention to by the whole society.
